• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Motion. In doing so, I want to congratulate hon. Nyamai for bringing the Motion to the House. This is a timely Motion. One of the challenges that we face as a country, especially the youth and women, is often accessing documents of identification. I remember that when we were making the Constitution, we deliberated on this matter at length. Many of us were of the view that we should as much as possible have one document of identification. Countries like the United States of America have two documents of identification – ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: becomes very difficult for my constituents to get identification documents. Even when you get one, getting the next one becomes a nightmare. So, we would rather go through that nightmare once and have it done with. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Of course, I do not shy away from responding. Firstly, I have never purported to be digital. So, those who purport to be digital must prove that they are indeed digital. Although I do not purport to be digital, I am more digital than the Government. Secondly, some of us learn running. If I had told you that I was digital, in six months’ time, I would truly be digital. So, the hon. Member should tell the Government to pull up their socks. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would also want to indicate that ... view
• 8 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 8 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I do not know if you heard the Leader of Majority Party calling the lady before the House, Nancy Barasa. I do not know if there is an issue with this “Barasa” name so that we can be informed as a House. This is the third Barasa and I think we are being very discriminative. So, even as we are going back as the Leader of Majority Party is proposing, perhaps, they may also come and advise the House adequately about it; including Barasa being summoned to the International Criminal Court (ICC). view
• 8 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, but other than that, the other issue I would want to ask even as you are seeking to propose is that I was listening very carefully and I want to confess that I do not know this Jennifer personally. I want to ask whether it is an issue that we are uncomfortable with strong women. Is it the issue? That is because if we are uncomfortable with a strong woman, then we will still reject the next strong woman who comes. view
• 8 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Finally, the other issue that I want them to look at – and, please, protect me from hon. Shakeel Shabbir! Even though I do not want everybody from my neighbouring county to be sent out from the House--- However, there are also the issues of regional balance, gender, Barasa issue and strong women that we must look at, so that we do not couch things in fancy words when we fear strong women like Mille Odhiambo. view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to indicate that, indeed, I am in the Opposition and I am proud to be there, but we need to own up when we are doing wrong things. I will challenge the Government side when they are doing wrong things--- view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Not Government side, but majority side. Thanks for the correction. At least, today, Duale has got something right. I will challenge their side when they are doing wrong things and I will also challenge our side when we are doing wrong things. We have brought this House to a standstill on a very simple issue. I want to encourage our leadership, both the Whip and the Leader of Minority Party to sit together and deal with this minor issue. There are Members who are not in any Committee. There are Members who are in one Committee. Those of us who ... view
